오르티냐노 라지올로 최고의 러닝 경로

Varco ai Gioghi is a high-altitude pass that marks a natural passage along an exposed mountain ridge. The landscape is characterized by wide summit meadows alternating with dense beech forests, offering open and airy views of the surrounding valleys.

Situated at 1,592 meters above sea level, this imposing iron cross dominates the Pratomagno massif, offering spectacular 360° views spanning the Casentino, Valdarno, and the entire Tuscan Apennines. It's the iconic finish line of every climb, reached by traveling the spectacular panoramic roads that run along the mountain's ridge.

Alas... to reach the Pratomagno cross, you have to earn it. The more effort, the more satisfaction... at least for me.

With a tunnel under a hiking trail 😉

Proper bike paths are rare, but this one is good and leads south from Poppi, always along the Arno River. It has a firm surface and is easy to ride.

Easy route along the ridge. Be careful though, with some steep and bumpy descents and climbs. Recommended if done after dinner, a light jacket or k-way.

The Arno cycle route is a cycle path project to connect the source of the river with its mouth. The stretch between Rassina and Stia is almost 30 kilometers long and allows you to cycle immersed in nature and greenery, always accompanied by the waters of the river. The track is dirt but it is a beaten gravel and allows you to pedal with any bicycle.

Very windy route, organize yourself with appropriate clothing.
